A few comments: We should look at perhaps reusing some code of Transifex. It does at least some of these things already. You can contact Dimitris Glezos - I'm sure he'll be very eager to help. We have already started talking about sharing some code and working towards integration/coupling of some sorts. Our current version control integration now supports symbolic links to the checkouts, so we can have a checkout somewhere else, and symbolic links to the po/ directory of the checkout elsewhere on the system (or individual files). Lars, please correct me if I'm wrong. I think this would solve your concern of having to fetch a whole project from the version control system (unless diskspace or bandwidth is your concern). Over the life cycle of a project, being able to update the local copy used by Pootle is quite important, and not trivial. Pootle has code to update carefully and merge in local changes so that a version control conflict won't happen. We need to simplify this and move it to the Translate Toolkit. Many people would like to script this sort of functionality as part of a periodical update from version control, for example. This would solve your concern of "auto refresh" if I understood your correctly. I'm really interested in being able to do all of this. One of the shortcomings in the current state of affairs is the ability to add new files to the version control system.
